It’s out. Or so they say. Sure, the IKCG showed up at Origins this week, but could it be that Privateer Press has actually managed to write edit, lay-out, proof, print and ship the dang thing for general consumption. Well, that’s what they’d have us think:
The wait is coming to a close, the ulcers are beginning to heal, and the Iron Kingdoms Character Guide is SHIPPING. Its printed. Its finished. Its being packed into boxes, taped shut, slapped with packing slips, and loaded onto trucks.
Heck, they even put out a third preview complete with the forward by Joe Martin, Editor-in-Chief and all-around nice guy.
Unfortunately, my local gaming store doesn’t reserve copies, so I may have to resort to violence when their normal shipment arrives this coming Wednesday. I swear I won’t be responsible for my actions if it is sold out by the time I show up on my lunch break…
Clarks’ doesn’t reserve copies if you go in and say “if you order this book today, I swear I’ll pay for it when it comes in.”
But, if you PAY for the book up front, they’ll give you a discount, and then they’ll also _call_ you the day it’s delivered to the store.
That’s how I received the Arkham sourcebook.
I may have since that day, smoked so much crack that I just _think_ they gave me a discount, but…
Word.
I guess I better head on down there, with a short stop by the ATM.
YOU BETTER!
OMFG I AM LIKE THE HULK AND WILL SMASH OR ELSE
